Analysis of Chrysalis



I am not the same woman I was before you.
She was filled with tangled roots of bitterness,
Distrust,
Resentment.
A woman content in her solitude,
Detached,
Disinterested.

I am not the same woman you once knew.
She was filled with a glorious rush of softness,
Desire,
Love.
A woman you called a goddess,
Passionate,
Devoted.

I am not the same woman you left behind.
She died in that wretched emptiness,
Broken,
Breathless.
A woman you called amazing and also too much,
Abandoned,
Forgotten.

I am a new woman the world has waited to meet.
She now dances with vibrant purpose,
Peacefulness,
Hope.
A woman who still dreams occasionally of Fate,
Destiny,
Soulmates.

Celeste Fritsche

While I often dabbled in writing poetry growing up, I have recently found a new passion for doing so. When not at my desk job, or walking one of my dogs, I am typically writing poems, painting, wood burning, hand etching glass, or occasionally working with resin. I love to create, and I hope that my creations put a little bit of beauty back into this often dark and broken world. more…
